In the grand tradition of Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball, Hamsterball lets you roll a protagonist through a series of wacky mazes, all the while avoiding deadly obstacles and navigating treacherous precipices. The unregistered version of this cute shareware game allows 20 plays of the first five levels, in either Tournament or Time Trial mode.

Hamsterball has a well-developed style of its own, with unique colors and thematic elements that distinguish each level. You can play its five stages at three difficulty levels: Pipsqueak, Normal, and Frenzied. With no opponents or tricky passages, the first stage lets you get a feel for controlling the rodent, but the difficulty soon picks up. Roaming eight balls, snapping mousetraps, and smashing hammers are just a few of the obstacles to avoid. Each stage has a time limit, and any leftover seconds carry over to the next level, but once the timer hits zero you're one dead hamster. Although controlling the character with the keyboard is slightly difficult, a game controller makes the action more manageable. Also, you can't manipulate the 3D environments, so sometimes you won't be able to see your little guy completely. Expert navigators might zip through the first five levels, but most folks will have a grand time running that poor hamster like crazy.

Pros
Very professional. <p> <p>Upbeat soundtrack.
Cons
When you fall off of virtually any degree of elevation, your ball breaks and you respawn. Personally, I like being able to drop from any height and hit the ground running... or rolling... in this sort of game. Simply preference, but overlooked. <p> <p>It's only a limited demo.

Developer’s Description

Roll your hamster through 12 heart-stopping courses.

In Hamsterball, race your hamster to the goal before time runs out, but beware--these fiendish courses will do anything to stop you. Play a time-trial game, take on the Hamster Tournament, or play Rodent Rumble with your friends. Grab your exercise wheel and load up on the hamster treats, because it's time for fun when the hamster runs. Version 2.18 adds three more races, three more rumble tournaments, and more secrets.
